Abstract

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a local enlargement of the abdominal aortic. It can bring 90% mortality rate when the aneurysm expands gradually until rupture. Clinically, the stent interventional procedure is an effective means of treating the disease, which requires clinicians clearly understand the anatomical structure of abdominal aorta and the aneurysm. In order to reduce the measurement risk and enhance the safety of operation, an image guided surgery (IGS) system is applied into operation. By the system, surgeons can know exactly morphological structure about the lesions and extract concerned parameters during surgery. This paper introduces how 3D models of the abdominal aorta and aneurysm are segmented and reconstructed from CT images, and how appropriate centerline path are extracted and used for internal virtual roaming in these 3D models. Then how tumor diameter is measured through cutting plane perpendicular to computed axis Clinical applications have shown that such IGS system is practical and helpful in the operation.
